Who are Macarico?
We at Macarico are a takeaway and diner, originating in Glasgow’s Eastend. Created by Alan who had 20 plus years of restaurant experience and was previously a head chef in a successful busy restaurant local to the same area. Alan realized there was a gap in market and the area needed a takeaway/diner with good, honest, real street food at prices the community could afford, and he seized the opportunity to fill
that gap.
Macarico was then developed by a close team of Family member, including Alan and his 3 brothers , who are also fully trained chefs, and close friends some of whom were also experienced in the industry. However, some staff also needed support and training which the Macarico core team have supplied. Macarico is mainly a family run business and the ethics of this are a huge part of the company values.
The freshness and uniqueness of the food is a huge part of the success of Macarico. The menus are updated regularly keep in line with current trends and customer demand. Many recipes are developed inhouse and are personal to Macarico. We offer everything from lunch to late evening snacks. Our menu covers light bites, to full meals and even desserts and milkshakes.
When lock down hit, the need for customer deliveries overtook the in-store footfall and Macarico was able to adapt and still offer hot fresh food directly to customers by making sure they implemented all the correct kitchen practices and delivery methods. The food you received delivered at home, is as tasty and fresh as that you will get when you sit in.
While we we use the services of Just Eat and Uber to stay current and offer our customers the simple and easy ways of ordering – our delivery drivers are Macarico staff, and this is how we ensure the highest level of customer service.
The team have gone from strength to strength and are now expanding and we have a variety of new franchise opportunities right now in several locations. If you want to join with us as we continue our expansion we would like to hear from you.
